The Auditorium Theatre in Baltimore was built in 1903. It operated first as a legitimate theatre, then as a cinema. In later years it was known as the Mayfair. *The first photo shows the facade as it appears today. The masks of comedy (left) and tragedy advertise its original function. Below each mask is a statue, now headless, that probably represented the respective Muse: Thalia (comedy) and Melpomene (tragedy). * The second photo was taken by an unknown photographer in 1927, the year that the silent film (!) "The Monkey Talks" was released. The film's name not only appears on the posters, but also on the sign on the theatre's roof (our view is from behind the sign, so the lettering appears backwards). *In 2014, the long-vacant building suffered a major fire. As a result, all but the facade and about 30 feet of wall were demolished. The third photo shows the rear of the building as it appears today. *The facade photo is a large composite of 15 exposures; the rear view is a single exposure with a Leica 262 and 28mm lens. #PhaseOne#P45 + #ArcaSwiss#Leica#Maryland#Baltimore
